Yes, but, Ks, he complains of the fakeness, but then goes out with the fakeness anyway, then he complains about it!!

So he should be shallow and dismiss all women with big fake tatas?

Nice.

No, he should only dismiss the women who annoy him. (Unless they're Scandanavian, he has a thing for Scandanavian women.)

But that's the thing. I've known many people who didn't annoy me when I met them, and they annoyed me later.

Yeah, but Earthmother, if Dick is playing a game and we shouldn't judge him because it might be an act, shouldn't that same attitude be applied to Jen? She's been raked over the coals.




I wish I taught applied psych in the summer. I teach it in the fall and spring, and use Big Brother as a prime example of person bias vs. situation bias, but I'd love to be able to turn on the TV (or feeds) during class and have my students read some of the things people say here.

If we're trying to judge a situation, we tend to attribute a person's behavior to the situation and not to their character. If we are judging the person, we tend to attribute their behavior in the exact same situation to the person. In the case of Big Brother, we are trying to decide who deserves to stay or go -- judging the people -- and therefore tend to attribute their behavior to their character, even though they are all in a highly artificial and by design, volatile environment.

Dick may be a misogynist, maybe not. He may be in a situation that brings out behavior in him that does not exist in real life. We may pick apart every little action of these houseguests because it's summer and everything else is in reruns. :-) But we have no idea how he behaves in everyday life based on the artificial environment of Big Brother.

Dicks ex-wife (not his kids mother) chose Booze over him.
He loved her. Like i said try reading his entire blog before you label him.

i think it's interesting to read this thread. as a man i can tell you that ALMOST EVERY time i hear a group of women talking the subject is men. not only that but it is usually complaining about men in general or a specific man in one's life. is this evidence of man hating?

you never see a man walking down the street wearing a shirt saying "i'm with stupid" nor are there any saying "the more women i meet, the more i love my dog." women seem to have no problem wearing these items and never get called for it.

as far as a group of people having to suffer through any and all put downs and derisive comments, i'm afraid that today that group is white men. (white men can't jump, dance, etc)

just watch ANY tv commercial that involves a stupid person and i guarantee you it is a white man. 100% guarantee! we are the only segment of the population who are still fair game for jokes, put-downs, and generalizations because we don't have an organization to speak for us.

we do have ED to speak for us this year and i think it shocks people to actually hear a white man ranting.

go dick!

Let's face it most women and men are on their best behavior the first few weeks and sometimes months of a relationship, and then POW!!!! Dick is who he is and I don't think he is one of those who can pretend to be otherwise, so once the (woman in his case) starts to want to change him or use their sexuality to make him conform he gets really pissed. The fake stuff is what he talks about. Pretending to be someone that you really aren't to catch your fish. I can't blame him that kind of person makes me mad too and I won't hesitate to call them on it. How many of you have had a relationship that has soured because the person you thought you cared for turned out not to be who you thought they were? This can cause a person to be jaded, but it doesn't stop you from trying again. What it does it make you aware of what you don't want, and to spot the phoney sooner.

You must have mother issues Lafatme. Either that or a good woman got tired of your crap and you can't handle it.

And don't forget sitcoms Lafatme. To quote Bill Maher "The wife is always smart and successful, and the husband is a dumb f**k lucky to have found her."

Stupid white men are simply more entertaining than respectable, intelligent ones.

You know, Prisoner is right. None of us really know him. Neither his defenders nor accusers. I just confess to being amused at how many people defend Dick, yet vilify Jen.

Also I don't care what the situation is or what kind of pressure cooker you are under, I will confess to being uneasy at comments along the lines of wanting to a woman until she bleeds or strangle her. Bleah.

I just keep waiting for someone to accuse me of disliking him because of his looks so I can come back with my history of body modification, but no one has been kind enough to give me the satisfaction.

Just to be clear in case the little winking smiley disappeared. My comment about mother issues was a joke.

hi baby :-)

seriously, my comments were not meant in anger, just pointing out that i belong to a segment of society that doesn't feel the need to organize, complain, and sue people everytime we are portrayed as idiots or made the butt of a joke.

some people are simply too sensitive and others think it's their right to always be offended by someone or something.

dick is dick. he's funny, abrasive but not abusive, and he's entertaining. can't it be left at that?

i think we need more people like howard stern, offending vast segments of the population until we all get thicker skins.

whining is not attractive.

that's all. gotta get back to work.
miss you kearie

Gosh...Dick just looks like a loser. All those piercing on his face, his tats and red freaked out hair.

Only a loser would do that to their bodies.

(How's that Hermie) <grin>


MUAH* Laffy.

I've had bad relationships. I don't go around saying bad things about men. I say "I had a bad relationship".

If I had a bad experience with someone who was black, I wouldn't go around saying "blacks are evil". I would say that person did something wrong or upsetting.

So I really have a problem with men saying women suck, or women saying men suck, 'cause they chose badly in relationship. Figure out why you're choosing badly, and do something different, instead of casting blame on a whole group of people. It's nice to be able to excuse it 'cause it's 'just venting', but I don't buy it. It's still discriminatory, IMO.

I just don't think all that blanket talk is helpful or healthy. Sure there are women who play games, and yes, there are men who do too. If you fall for them, it means you have something to learn. But all women aren't like that, nor are all men. If you're going to be a 'truth-teller', tell the truth.

But venting isn't truthtelling. So now I think Dick just has an identity crisis. He just doesn't know who he is. Maybe we can all tell him, once we figure it out.
